In this video, we discuss basic techniques to improve chromatic scales, as well as a new method, taught to me by one of my lifelong teachers, Dr. Susan Duehlmeier, on how to reduce tension in fast speeds with chromatic scales. Examples given from Moszkowski Étincelles ("Sparks") Op.36 No.6

The excitement you bring when sharing these tips gives a lot of motivation
Yousef Shadian actually
Have you watched Paul Barton's tutorial on the Chopin Op 10 No 2 etude by any chance? He has some interesting exercises for the chromatic scales. One of particular interest for me was the one where you hold a small-ish ball with your thumb and index finger and let the weak fingers play the scales. I wonder if this could be inverted to work for the strong thumb and index as well and if so would that help.
I appreciate that you record at a sensible volume, unfortunately when I turn your videos up to hear them interruptiung UA-cam adverts then DEAFEN ME.
Great tutorial. But you should really consider having an extra camera placed above the piano pointing down at the keys. That would make it much easier to see what you are playing.
Thanks Josh you do them beautifully - when I was practicing for ABRSM it was a nightmare and I was constantly on the verge of my tendon going twang. Glad you talk about it in detail here
I love this video ! I play guitar and your videos have helped me so much. Thank you josh.
Hi Josh, I loved this video. Chromatic scales are really important in a piano technique. Your practice methods work and help me to avoid bad habits and improve my technique.
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Thank you so much, this makes my chromatic scales much faster and smoother!
Great tips, thanks for sharing Josh! I hope you realize how much us other pianists appreciate the insights you share.
I see the greatest current classical pianists in the world with tension induced 5th finger issues. Of course they can still pull off the greatest works with this habitual tension. But when removed, sound improves, and speed is less challenging. Good tip here in your video!
Hey Josh could you do an in-depth video on tremolos? I've seen all your other videos on tremolos and I wonder if you could cover some of the complex ones like really long double-third tremolos which require endurance?
Thanks for sharing these tips with us.The way you handle technique problems helps us understand that there's always a solution for every technique problem and after striving for a certain period of time ,in the end it feels easy and simple when you go over it again.
Ohh..you are so modest, Josh.. your chromatic scale is superfast!
Cool exercise! Thanks, Josh!
Really amazing tips, one humbly request please fix a camera on hand it will be more easy to understand.
Thanks, Josh, for another helpful video. As someone looking to improve some basic skills, wondered if you've covered tips on how to avoid rushing during crescendos? Counting '1e+a' helps alot, but when trying to play more freely (without focusing so much on the counting) everything goes out the window! ;)
Me (beginner) at 00:00: let's improve my chromatic scales speed and technique ...
Me at 00:55 after listening at the examples ... let's change instrument!
Who knew!!! I tucked my fingers and it was instantly better!!😀 Earned you a subscription Sir!!! THANK YOU!
Thanx man! I want to learn chromatic scales... they sound like a beautifull waterfall or something... dunno what it is, but they sound beautifull.
Great content. Keep it up!
You helped me SO MUCH! I can't thank you enough❤️
Hello Josh, I just wanted to take this time to thank you for your incredible piano tutorials. I have admired all your videos. I am new to your channel but I am learning a lot from you. You are now my teacher. I was self-taught before I took lessons for about years but the damage was already done to my fingers. In this video, your fingers stay together as you demonstrated these new techniques. May I ask you which book has this type of exercise? cause I would want to start working on my fingering. Your suggestions are welcome and Thank you so much.
I'd love to see a video that talks about the difference at the very top. Watched your preliminaries at the Chopin Competition and always wonder what is it that separates you vs. someone like Seong-Jin Cho who just dominated everyone else, when all pianists there already mastered all the fundamentals, technique, etc.
Another way to relax...okay gonna try to do this in words...use the "centering" technique. If you haven't done this before...do it slowly. As you play from one not to the next, imagine your hand does a small circular motion rotating towards the thumb (always toward the thumb NO MATTER what direction you're going, up or down the keyboard). Make sure when you land, you have the key fully depressed and are using arm weight, NOT finger muscle. Do not anticipate the rotation to the next note, and only move on when the key is depressed fully and your fingers are fully relaxed. Then raise your hand, make the circular motion toward the thumb, then land on the next note, fully depressed with arm weight. And so on. This keeps your arm mechanism centered. Watch that your elbow stays behind your hand. If your pinky starts to stick up when you land, you're not using arm weight, you're using too much finger muscle. For a more visual description, watch Edna Golandsky or Dorothy Taubman videos. Between Josh Wright and those two, you'll make huge strides. By the way...thanks Josh!!!
Thanks so much for all your detailed videos!🥰
awesome tutorial. You're a great teacher!
Love your videos so much! I am a piano teacher who recently started making videos and I hope to be as good as you one day
Really good video. Jazz instructor just subbed.
Thank you so so much for this video brother Josh, very useful tips...
Blessings,
Sam 🎵
Always giving like before watching the video, thank you very much, for your precious tips!!
Thankyou Josh. This video so helpul.
What piece is that?
Enticelles by Moszkowski... Horowitz liked it for encores :)

derinderruheliegt thank you 😊🙏👍
@@derinderruheliegt - Thank you for posting that link. Makes me think of the cartoon mouse inside the piano running away from the descending hammers while the cat plays either a classical piece or Raymond Scott's Powerhouse ua-cam.com/video/YfDqR4fqIWE/v-deo.html . I doubt the mouse would have survived the Horowitz performance :-O
Outstanding i love love your skills
Thanks for sharing
Josh. You are the best
Excellent. *As usual*
Do ever just feel the tension in your right hand watching these videos haha
What’s the best chromatic fingering for the left hand?
Thanks!
Thank you for the beautiful tips, but it's really hard to observe the finger positions in the video.
Thank you for the video.
thank you so much
I wonder how much the flying pinkie really matters though. For example, Chopin Op 10 No. 4, right in the 2nd bar, when you go from the E with 3 to the F# with 4, basically every pro pianist I've seen on UA-cam has a flying pinkie in that transition, including Kissin. When I saw that, I gave up trying to fix mine.
I love them!!!
cool😊
Thank you, my pinky was pointing straight out
what song are u playing !? it’s beautiful
What is the name of this piece? You have demonstrated it before - i think.
Flying pinkie is really matter? Chromatic only use 123 finger isn't it?
linus tech tips but for classical piano 🍜
Transcendental no 8 by Franz Liszt
You should put cam on your fingers only its not clear so far
What a wonderful video on how to talk for 16 minutes
watching this for flight of the bumblebee
Hi
Can t hear well
That would take me 6 months to learn slowly
00:55 ok not for me!
Yeah, no, don't tuck 4 and 5, unless you're actually trying to develop focal hand dystonia/musician's cramp.
He didnt say grip it, he said keep it loose and comfortable.
No views my butt
First!?
you are too fast, should go slower. also we cant see the piano keys you are playing.
bruh he doesnt even explain the fingering for left hand -_- nor does anyone ask in comments ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
